Below is a card I made for Stu, it's different to the ones I normally make but thought it was cute. I saw a similar one that was sent to a friend, it was a Santa face and the hat folded down for the message space. I thought a Reindeer would be a nice alternative and with the face and front legs, thought it would give some more interest with the folds, what do you think?

I must have been a good girl, Santa [Stu lol] brought me loads of crafty goodies. Can't wait to get playing with them! I also got a new camera which I love, so there is no excuse now for me not to upload a million and one pictures !

Christmas day was lovely, just a nice family day and then drinking with my mates in the night.

I managed to make some sour cream containers for the table and filled my sisters with a ring, my dads with a miniature aftershave and the dogs with some treats! (I filled my one with chocolates yum!)

I also had a go at making a magnetic bookmark as a present, saw a demo on YouTube and just adapted it a little.

Just catching up on the soaps, speak to you all again in the New Year. Hope yours is full of happiness and health x x

It's nearly here and I've still got so much to do. Got to venture into town on Tuesday for last minute bits which should be an experience... but thankfully I've managed to finish my Christmas card orders and only have 3 more personal ones to complete.

How is everyone getting on? Are you all up to date?I really can't believe it'll be Christmas in 5 days!! I hope it snows!

Wow, what a lovely week! Disneyland Paris was amazing, all done up christmassy. I felt like a little kid again.

On the way home it started to snow, they even had some dude on a cherry picker De-icing the plane!

Ive managed to take a photo of an 81st birthday card I did for my boyfriends Nan before my camera stopped working and have uploaded it as I've not put any pictures up of my work yet.

I still haven't worked out how to blue tooth the pictures from my phone to this laptop but once i do they'll be straight up here.

I got a shock in work on Wednesday when someone said it was only two weeks till Christmas! Thought i was organised until that point, then i panicked [how come pay day seems to take so long to come around but Christmas whizzes up so fast??] I really need to get my own cards and gifts ready!

I went to the dentist this morning for my final veneer fitting (how can one tooth costs soooo much?) it's finally in but boy, was he rough! He nearly lifted me off the chair fitting it ha ha.Anyway, it's all done and dusted now so hopefully wont need to pay him another visit for a while.

Hope everyone is well and do keep checking back, I promise once I get my new camera for Christmas I'll be uploading a lot more pictures of my cards and projects.

I feel so Christmassy! Only 3 days 'till I go to Disneyland Paris - I so hope it snows!! ( but not until we land...)

I've finished most of my Christmas card orders and typically my camera has give up on its life, so I've taken some photos on my phone so they're not the best quality and when i work out how to blue tooth them to my laptop I'll share them with you.

Putting our decorations up soon too and I'm very proud of myself for having all my presents bought and wrapped! (how organised am I?!) just hope the dog doesn't get to them again this year ha ha.

I've been making some Christmas gifts too, can't reveal too much right now as certain people may be having a peek (Hello Mum!)
